I tried swimming around to collect all the fish but I got booted back to the boat screen after some time. I’m not sure that the fish I collected had any impact on what was in the tank. Also the inventory UI moves with the player, sometimes off screen. So overall a little wonky in places, but quite charming. The music and art play off each other well. I love the different fish sprites and seeing them in the tank. You’ve created an interesting hook and atmosphere with relatively little. (pun not intended ;)) Could be a cool take on aquarium games with some more development.
Thank you for the notes!! yeah most of what you see are unfinished mechanics including getting booted out of the ocean hahaha I do want to come back to it in the future and implement the mechanics fully🐠 thanks for playing tho!!
